How often to you say that there is just not enough time in the day? I know
I feel this way most days. I get up early, spend an hour in the car going
to work, spend the day at work, an hour back home and then some fleeting
quality time with my family before I go to bed and start the whole process
over again.
There is so much to do and so little time to get it done. Our calendars and
to-do lists are full. Stress levels are out of control. Is this God's
plan?
Genesis 1:5
One the first day of creation, God created light and separated the light
from the darkness. It's easy to forget that what God did here was create
the first day - he created time, at least time as we know it in our finite
humanity.
What does this mean to me? God gave us 24 hours in our day and all the days of our lives. The time I have is sufficient. If I am short of time, I need
to look at how I am spending what God has given me. Am I being a good
steward with the gift of time from God?
Usually when I read the parable of the talents I think of spiritual gifts,
money or other blessings. What is I read this parable again and apply it to the time God has given me, both in my day and in my life. How should I treat
the time that God has given me?
Matthew 25:14-30
My time here may be a nothing more than a vapor in eternity. Am I
investing it for eternity or wasting it by burying what I have in the
ground.
James 4:14
